I have a Mk3 Mondeo 16" rims alloy, I really like the Mondeo ST alloys which are 18", would I get away with putting some on my mk3, if I could would I need low profile tyres.

Yes that's the ones Fred multi spoked, they look really nice, a ST passed me today,there's some seriously nice styling on them, I believe they cost a lot to run the Mondeo ST,I think there V6??
so I shouldn't imagine I would get 48 to the gallon as I am now.

Paul, to answer your last questions :) Yes, you will need low profile tyres to use the ST220 alloys

Thank you both ,I've written the size down ,just want to check the ride height with TC Harrisons as, the ST has different suspension.
Leesylv I love the angel eyes on your mondeo, and the whole look of it, bet you get some looks with it.This summer mines getting the treatment ,some side skirts , not sure if there off an ST or Ghia,different back bumper, it's ink blue met, my friend who owns a body shop, want to give it respray with all the bits fitted ink blue met of course, and a couple of shelby stripes ghosted on, then a couple of coats of clear, well that's the plan, think I'll fit reversing sensors while we are at it.And the front fogs could be replaced with DRLS in the fog lights. That's it on the list

Personally I think the ST wheels only look good on the ST. Go for the Zetec-S wheels, will suit a non-ST Mondeo alot better in my opinion.

I'm putting mine on for the first time this weekend (ST220 alloys). I'll take some pictures and then you'll see what it could/would look like on a bog standard LX.

I've got to say I like your ST wheels, could you tell me what size tyres are you using , and is the ride height OK, as this is my major concern.

Hi, tyre size is 225/40/18. I have not messed around with ride height, it is factory standard and there is more than enough space. If anything the ride height could actually be lowered but i like the way it is now. =)

The geometry and speedo reading should be the same as the rolling diameter should always be the same whether you have 16's or 18's (And use the correct tyre size) Please anybody correct me if im wrong.

Regarding fuel Eco. Well, time will tell, but they are garenteed to bring me better F. economy than the studded winter tyres that just come off ! :L
